I put a Sportech smoke tinted V-screen and a new set of Yoshimura RS-3 Carbon Fiber Zyclone slip-ons on last night. Rode about 30 miles to get a decent feel for the changes. Here's my two cents:
V-Screen: Nice! It's a quality screen. Well made, fits like stock. I like the trim they put on the lip. Anyway, it directs the airflow up and around my helmet. The stock screen directed the air under my helmet - trying to lift it off my head. Big improvement! Best of all, the gauges are in perfect view now. How does it compare to the other "double-bubble" style screens? Don't know, never tried them. Probably never will, as this screen WORKS and looks as good or better than most. Plus it costs less than the competition by a few bucks.
Yoshi CF Zyclone: These mufflers fit well and they look great. They do not, however, make a drastic change in sound level. They add a little growl and deepen the note, but not by much. I like that. Technically, I kinda like the stealthiness of the stock pipes' sound, but the giant silver cans stuck out like a boner in leotards on my dark gray '05 LE. I bought these carbon cans for looks - I admit it.
Now, I wonder if the packing will eventually burn out making the pipes louder? Anyone know?
